About our air source heat pumps in Brimpton
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If you are dealing with not knowing whether a grant applies and a boiler that’s getting old, we can help.
For a home around Brimpton that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

When to call us in Brimpton
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that is the appeal for many households.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Peter? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Air source heat pumps in Brimpton: the local picture
About 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. The Brimpton Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Brimpton, within about a third of a mile. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Brimpton, including Shalford Farmhouse (grade II). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with West Berkshire council, usually the planning authority here where necessary.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Leave it or put it right?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. Booking before summer means the work in Brimpton is done before the hot weather.
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first.

- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive

Brimpton questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Brimpton?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Brimpton is in England, where it applies. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you cover smaller places like Brimpton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
